EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) stains on a metal outdoor table can be unsightly and challenging to remove. However, with the right approach, you can restore your table's appearance. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Prepare the Surface: Start by rinsing the table with water to remove loose debris. Use a soft brush or cloth to avoid scratching the metal.

2. Use a Mild Detergent: Mix warm water with a gentle dish soap. Apply the solution to the stained areas and scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge.

3. Try Vinegar or Baking Soda: For tougher stains, create a paste with baking soda and water or use diluted white vinegar. Apply it to the stains, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then scrub and rinse.

4. Commercial Cleaners: If DIY methods fail, opt for a commercial EIFS stain remover. Follow the product instructions carefully and test on a small area first.

5. Rinse and Dry: Thoroughly rinse the table with clean water and dry it with a microfiber cloth to prevent water spots or rust.

Regular maintenance and prompt stain removal will keep your metal outdoor table looking pristine for years.
